Hassle In The Castle! (167)

Hassle For The Castle!

After being caught in a heavy Storm, Ash & Co. rush to find shelter finding only a Castle which is used as a small health resort. The Owner has a Zubat and Brock instantly falls for her. However they get lost and the only way to get back is with Zubat's Supersonic. Can they do this?

If Wilhemina is my choice for Brock's best love interest, Dr. Anna is a very close second. I think she and Brock really had great chemistry in this episode, and it's a joy to watch them. I also love how they have to work with Team Rocket to get out of the labyrinth. Wobbuffet is also great in this episode as he does spooky noises and volunteers to go with Jessie.

It would have been even funnier if James had used the *proper* word to go with Jessie's 'iching' line. It begins with 'b', and sounds like 'Mitching'.

I mean, 'Jessie's complaining?' XD

That aside, I hated this episode. I really didn't like Dr. Anna... for one, her hair creeped me out. (It was made out of plastic I tells ya!) That, and the whole 'Brock getting married with Ash and Misty at their wedding' really... well, you know. Ash is certainly the type of guy to wear a cap with a suit.

But there were some cute interactions between Jessie and Wobbuffet, which made up for it.

Yeah, that was really funny. I knew they weren't going to say that on a kids' television show, but still.XD I also liked when they were getting all creeped out at Wobbuffet's shadow making the ghostly noises. It's just like "Waaa... waaa... waaa... Waaaabbuffet!" I don't know, the delivery there was just hilarious.XD Overall, a pretty good episode, and it was nice to see Zubat finally get some time in the spotlight.

The Team Rocket motto for this episode was, hands down, the BEST change 4Kids ever made to the Japanese dialogue. And it's very rare that they even make a decent change at all. The first time I heard it, I literally did a double take and said to myself "Oh my God, they actually DID that?!"

Of course, they tried to repeat their success in a later episode by having James describe a battle involving an Omanyte as being "one shell of a fight". I hope they learned that substituting swears doesn't work if it's a cheap pun.

A funny episode, I really enjoyed it, Brock and Dr. Anna really got good chemistry together to bad it didn't work out, but I enjoyed Brock's fantasy of them getting married. Nice to see an episode where Zubat finally gets a chance to shine, also nice to see Brock's Zubat evolve into Golbat. I got plenty of laughs at watching Jessie getting impatient and setting off those traps along with Wobbuffet, to bad it was Jessie that set them all off.

My Grandmother always said...
"She who walks the path of heaven will rule over everything"

I thought this was a good episode. I'm glad Zubat finally was the star of something. I'm also really happy that it evolved into a Golbat. I feel bad for Brock at the same time though, I thought things between him and Dr. Anna might just work out. I thought that the Jessie and Wobbufet parts of the show were hilarious. Especially when Wobbufet scared Team Rocket with its noises.

I <3 May.

I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.

I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!

I just rewatched this episode a few days ago. I thought it was the one where Golbat evolves into Crobat but it was Zubat who evolved into Golbat. This episode was a good laugh and Brock actually had some chemistry with Dr.Anna. I liked the part where they get freaked out by Wobbafet and their motto. A surprise was that James almost actually said the word for what Jessie was doing, and it starts with a b.
